About the gay content

[seth_]

Have any of you even played the first game? It was strongly implied that Eric was Istvan’s lover or at least that there was something deeper than just a typical underling relationship. This was part of the main story, and every character questioned it because it seemed strange and unusual for the time.

Given the developers’ approach and how such relationships were viewed during that historical period, it’s highly unlikely that the sequel will be 'celebrating' any gay stuff.

That's why he won't watch it, he's not confident in his sexuality.

I mean I don't think it was stated anywhere that it's a sex scene. Literally might be just two guys hugging each other in more suggestive way.

... Because straight people don't want to watch gay sex?

Then let us all join hands and ensure that gay people shall be forced to watch straight people have sex! Who knows, they may like it and become straight as a result of it.

i always wonder about the logic behind this argument. how to you go from finding something repulsive to insecurities? that is some heavy mental gymnastics at work there.

if i look at a mangled corpse and find that to be repulsive do i have insecurities with my body?

how does that logic work?

i mean i wouldn't want to run into my parents having sex either but that's something people can unfortunately relate to, nobody knows if the rumors are even true and what the context even is.

lol the anti-wokes have convinced themselves they'll be treated like Alex in A Clockwork Orange or something, good stuff.

Both the gay guys in KCD1 are evil and acting like a$$holes. I wonder what that means.

I think the insecurity part comes in where someone makes a public statement about it. These are things that are ingrained during our upbringing. I'm fairly certain gay scenes make a lot of people uncomfortable, but most accept that it is not their place to dictate other people's sexual preference.
When you make it sound like it's somehow wrong to be confronted with it, but suggesting heterosexual scenes would be fine by specifically singling out gay content, you risk being perceived as a not very tolerant person. Oftentimes, trying to impose your own moral values on others is rooted in insecurity.

The underlying problem is an ongoing degradation of civility, and I'm sorry to say, in recent history the left shoulders the blame. The left had essentially won the culture war, but by a smaller margin than believed, and then did not bother to account for these ingrained personality traits, pushing a progressive agenda no matter how the minority feels. Remember Clinton's "basket of deplorables"? You gotta be pretty sure of your standing to try and win over voters with that. But that was the reality: You cannot do this, you mustn't say that - period. If you're on the right, what's wrong with you?
In part, people are relieved that they can suddenly say stuff that was hitherto unacceptable. I'm not surprised some are overshooting.

Ideally we would find a middle ground, but the populists have smelled blood, fanning the flames, suggesting anything that owns the libs is a win ... until the pendulum swings back again, or the next cataclysm.

I enjoy gay sex, so I don’t mind that it is in the game

[[Heretic]Rivga]

There would have to be a point to the gay sex scene or any other sex scene.

For instance if you want to protray a person who is so powerful and beyond the law, having him be not openly gay, but most people suspect it. The only person to come to mind is historically is Edward II of England.

Basically a guy is so powerful politically and knows it that even the church dare not speak ill of him. That is a strong statement.

If it is just there to be there then there is no point.

KCD routeinly focuses more on what was normative around Bohemia at the time than whatever values are vouge half a milennia later. That's not a statement on LGBT stuff being good or bad, it is just wanting to take people back to experience in a small way an era that was not theirs.
